  • Hormonal imbalances

What is a vasectomy? How is a vasectomy performed?

A vasectomy is a permanent sterilization procedure for men. It involves cutting and sealing the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles. This prevents sperm from reaching the semen and fertilizing an egg. This is ideal for men who are finished having children or don't wish to have children at all.

What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition in which a man cannot achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. ED can be caused by psychological, physical, or medical conditions. Medical conditions that can cause ED include diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Often, the cause of ED is unknown.

  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Infections
  • Ejaculatory disorders
  • Varicocele
  • Genetic abnormalities
  • Testicular injury or surgery

How is erectile dysfunction treated?

Erectile dysfunction can often be treated with medication, lifestyle changes, or therapy. Medications used to treat erectile dysfunction include phosphodiesterase inhibitors, prostaglandins, and testosterone replacement therapy. Penile shockwave therapy is one of the most effective new treatments for erectile dysfunction. This is a non-invasive, effective, and painless therapy that uses low-intensity sound waves to improve blood flow to the penis.

What is male-pattern baldness?

Male-pattern baldness is a common condition that causes hair loss in men. It is characterized by a receding hairline and thinning of the hair on the top of the head. Male-pattern baldness is caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors. There is no cure for male-pattern baldness, but treatments are available to slow the progression of hair loss.

What causes hair loss?

You should never feel alone for experiencing male hair loss. It's a common condition that many men face. A variety of factors can cause hair loss. These include:

  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Medical conditions (e.g., thyroid disorders, alopecia areata)
  • Medications (e.g., chemotherapy, beta-blockers)
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Stress
  • Genetic factors

What treatments are available for male-pattern baldness?

There is no cure for male-pattern baldness, but treatments are available to slow the progression of hair loss. These treatments include:

  • Minoxidil ( Rogaine)
  • Finasteride ( Propecia)
  • Hair transplants
  • Laser therapy
  • Microneedling

Oral Therapies

A few oral therapies have been FDA approved to treat hair loss due to male-pattern baldness. Oral treatments may be best for men just starting to experience hair loss. These therapies include Rogaine (minoxidil), Propecia (finasteride), and Avodart (dutasteride).

Dihydrotestosterone Shampoo

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone that is thought to play a role in male-pattern baldness. Some shampoos contain ingredients that block the production of DHT. These shampoos may help to slow the progression of hair loss.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a treatment that uses low-level lasers to stimulate hair growth. This therapy is effective in slowing the progression of hair loss. Laser therapy is available for both home use and professional devices.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are a treatment for hair loss. PRP is a concentration of platelets that are injected into the scalp. These platelets help to stimulate hair growth and prevent hair loss. PRP injections also have benefits for sexual wellness. They can improve erectile function.

What is intravenous therapy?

Intravenous (IV) therapy administers fluids, nutrients, and medications directly into the veins. IV therapy can both improve chronic conditions and preventatively treat upcoming procedures, such as surgery. IV therapy can also help to improve sexual wellness.

Customized IV Therapy

A customized IV therapy session is vital to address your specific, pressing concerns. During your consultation, you will bring up any health concerns. You will discuss your goals, and the staff will create a custom formula for your specific needs. The treatments are comfortable and last 30-60 minutes. You will be able to relax and hydrate during your session. Afterward, you will feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is vital for your body because it helps to produce red blood cells and keep your nervous system functioning properly. Vitamin B12 deficiency is diagnosed with a blood test. A lack of vitamin B12 can lead to anemia, fatigue, and neurological problems. The treatment for vitamin B12 deficiency is to take supplements or receive IV therapy. When you receive vitamin B12 through IV therapy, it is more quickly and effectively absorbed into your body.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate

NADP+ is a vital molecule in the male body that helps to produce energy. NADP+ levels can deplete due to poor diet, stress, and medications. NADP+ deficiency can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, and problems with metabolism. Receiving NADP+ through IV therapy can help to quickly and effectively treat deficiency.

Candidates for IV Therapy

IV therapy is safe for most people. Some people should not receive IV therapy, including those with the following:

  • Allergies to any of the ingredients in the IV therapy formula
  • Severe kidney disease
  • Heart failure
  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure

Talk to your doctor about which combination of treatments is right for you.

Procedure

The first step is to consult your doctor to see if you are a candidate for IV therapy. If you are a candidate, the next step is to choose a formula that is right for you. Once you have chosen a formula, your doctor will insert a small needle into a vein in your arm and attach it to an IV bag. The IV will then be slowly drip-fed into your body over 30-60 minutes. After the IV is finished, you can go about your day as usual.

How can I stay healthy?

You can do several things to stay healthy, including eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding drugs, tobacco, and alcohol. It would be best if you also visited your doctor for routine exams and screenings, as well as any time you experience any changes in your health. By taking these steps, you can help keep yourself healthy and avoid potential health problems.
